Otherwise, the MSM would ignore it like they IGNORE AFGHANISTAN today!
"Blast hits Pakistan militant compound; Paramilitary forces move in on extremists" by Riaz Khan, Associated Press | July 1, 2008
PESHAWAR, Pakistan - An explosion wrecked a militant compound yesterday, killing as many as eight people, while Pakistani paramilitary forces pushed deeper into a border region where extremists threaten the city of Peshawar and a key supply line for US troops in Afghanistan.
Pro-Taliban militants targeted by the offensive in the Khyber tribal area claimed a missile was fired from nearby Afghanistan, but a Pentagon official said he knew of no cross-border attack and a Pakistani officer said stored explosives blew up.
You gotta love that Pentagon, huh? Yup, doesn't have a clue, huh?
And the cover story lies about hidden explosives?
Sounds like an ISRAELI-type of EXCUSE to me!
The nighttime blast, which buried bodies in piles of shattered masonry and mud bricks, came at the start of the third day of an offensive by Pakistan's paramilitary Frontier Corps.
Officials said at least five people were killed and three were injured. Villager Nawaz Khan Afridi said he saw eight bodies. Haji Namdar, leader of the militant Vice and Virtue Movement, whose supporter apparently owned the compound, said six people were killed.
Namdar vowed revenge.
"We do not know if our country Pakistan is involved, but our claim is on America," Namdar told Geo TV after a funeral for some of the dead. "We do not know from where it was carried out, but we claim that Jews and Christians did it."
One wonders if the Zionist-controlled MSM is misquoting the guy.
A spokesman for Namdar's group, Munsif Khan, said a missile fired from Afghanistan might have caused the damage. "Our friends saw a flash of light coming from the direction of Afghanistan" before the blast, he said.
